Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Testicular cancer impairs sexual function in men?

Unclear. Several cohort and review sources report that men treated for testicular cancer experience sexual impairment, including low sexual desire and erectile dysfunction, though one review notes the effect of chemotherapy on sexual function remains controversial. The evidence covers treated survivors rather than the unqualified claim that testicular cancer itself impairs sexual function.
